Parents taking responsibility for what their children can see and do on their devices is an option. Maybe free classes for tech-illiterate parents?

There are options that don't involve forcing everybody to prove their age and provide ID verification to access social media

Not when big tech is doing everything they can to bring harmful content to kids while pretending to sincerely offer guardrails.

Parents do not have infinite resources to 'take responsibility'. I do not think that is a practicable option, let alone a serious or optimal one.

Indeed. Assuming this is the real goal. That would require of people to trust the government. I in general trust no government.

What kind of class teaches 'tech-illiterate' parents to help their children not succumb to a multi-trillion dollar industry pushing out addictive and damaging content? It should be easy to develop such classes right? Maybe dust off the classes for 'health-illiterate' parents that were needed to stand up to the tobacco and alcohol industries? </s>
